Which of the following was a failed attempt by congress to settle the slavery issue as southern states stated seceding from the union

Compromise of 1850

Explanation: The Compromise of 1850 was a series of five laws that were passed in September of 1850 to deal with the issue of slavery. In 1849, California requested permission to enter the Union as a free state, potentially altering the balance between the free and the slave states in the Senate. The document was introduced as an attempt to seek a compromise between North and South and avoid a crisis.

As part of this compromise, the Fugitive Slave Act was amended and the slave trade in Washington, D. C. was abolished.

simplify brackets

8 - 2a - 7 = a + 40

simplify 8 - 2a - 7 to -2a + 1

-2a + 1 = a + 40

add 2a to both sides

1 = a + 40 + 2a

simplify a + 40 + 2a to 3a + 40

1 = 3a + 40

subtract 40 from both sides

1 - 40 = 3a

simplify 1 - 40 o -39

-39 = 3a

divide both sides by 3

-39/3 = a

simplify 39/3 to 13

-13 = a

switch sides

a = -13
